Just to let everyone know - Angela Gheorghio is now being replaced by Elina Garanca; who has already sung this role with great success at Covent Garden

We attended the screened performance of Carmen this evening and although it was a fascinating production our overall enjoyment was limited by the poor sound quality. We had been led to expect a high standard from your publicity but were disappointed in this respect.
